I would say to today's young minister, 'Be not afraid to give much time to solitary walks and meditation'.

Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.

We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to "grow in grace" and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.

Humility is not thinking meanly of oneself, but rather it means not thinking of oneself at all.

We are not bearing our crosses every time we have a headache; an aspirin tablet will take care of that. What is meant is the trouble we would not have if we were not Christians.

Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, "shake well before using." That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.

Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.
